Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 1 Cup Almond Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
- ¼ Cup Collagen Peptides (optional)
- 1 Cup Chocolate Chips (recommendations: @hukitchen or @enjoylifefoods)
Wet Ingredients
- 1 Cup Tahini (use more liquidy tahini such as @soomfoods for best results)
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- 1 Egg
- 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
Finishing
- 1 pinch Flaky Salt
- Vanilla Gelato or Ice Cream (suggested: Talenti)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease an 8x8 inch round baking dish thoroughly and set aside to prevent sticking.
- Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, tahini, maple syrup, egg, baking soda, vanilla extract, and collagen peptides if using. Stir thoroughly until the batter is completely smooth and lump-free.
- Fold in Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in the chocolate chips into the batter until they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture.
- Scoop Dough into Dish: Using a cookie scoop, drop scoops of the batter evenly into the prepared baking dish, filling it completely.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 16–17 minutes until the top is golden and crunchy but the inside remains gooey.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the dish from the oven and allow it to cool for one minute. Scoop portions directly from the dish into bowls, add a generous scoop of vanilla ice cream or gelato on top, and finish with a pinch of flaky salt. Serve immediately and enjoy the warm, gooey dessert.
Notes
- Using a more liquidy tahini improves the texture and moisture of the cookie.
- Collagen peptides are optional but add extra protein and nutritional benefits.
- The cookie is designed to be gooey inside with a crunchy top for the best texture.
- Pairing with vanilla gelato or ice cream intensifies the dessert experience with a creamy cool contrast.
- Grease the baking dish well to ensure easy scooping and serving.
